Yes, and my response then was they turned him into Batman. Superman is supposed to be in bright colors and smile. He got by 75 years just fine with the sun perpetually shining on him, and now they have turned him into this gloomy Batman wannabe so he fits better into the Batman formula. I can only imagine what is in store for Wonder Woman and Aquaman.

Well Nolan directed the film so we knew it was going to be a diffrent Superman. I think that writing was on the wall as soon as Superman Returns (2006) was deemed a Box Office failure. I agree that Man Of Steel was a let down for me because it just seemed so against what Clark Kent and Superman were originally about.

How predictable, anything is better than the NBC Wonder Woman costume, but I hate that they did the typical ultra-serious look with dark colors and no resemblance to the original costume. My favorite thing about the X-Men First Class films was that they allowed those characters to wear costumes that looked like the comics and they were proud of who they are. This looks like Xena Warrior Princess, not Wonder Woman.

I'm seeing other images that show more color to the costume once you remove the filter from the image.

Frankly I'm happy they toned down the star spangled nonsense. That type of jingoistic patriotism is so 1940s. Wonder Woman is a greek goddess. I just wish they'd done away with the skirt and put her in pants. It's hard to fight crime in a swimsuit.

Wonder Woman has had a ton of looks, many of them that were ugly, but I still feel the Lynda Carter one is the mos iconic and what they should be trying to update. You could easily take that and make it look stronger. When it comes to Batman or Superman they acknowledge how iconic that look is and simply update it. I also think a Wonder Woman reboot should be set in the 40s ala Captain America. As an orgins story I feel that is the best way to handle it and also when Wonder Woman was at her strongest.

I'd like a costume like this:

Are you sure? That may be a fan edit as Ive seen several trying to modify the image.

Im also fine with her not in underwear or booty shorts. I think the skirt works though and it will depend with what type of portrayal we get of her. Is she already modernized or is she coming straight from the Amazon? If its the latter, it would make sense for her to be in more traditional wear and it would also explain why she isn't blinged out in star spangled gear

BTW, were you hoping for something like this?

    • My only recollection of Ms Felder in Tom Lissanti's book is that she was not well liked backstage, and nobody was aware of rumors that she was fired because of her looks, including the network executive interviewed for the book.
    • a) you would not be sorry, but  b) full episodes from the first half of '89 are hard to find. 
    • Ya see..., that's why I can't watch this show on my own!

      I'm ripping it for being dumb, meanwhile half the episode goes over my head.  Hello pot, I'm kettle.
    • When put very plainly it wouldn't make sense, but you could say that Ashley would prefer someone that can pay his own way without sharing expenses and has more than a working class experience. Andre might want someone more stable and level headed. Of course the issue is that the characters don't match despite the plausibility of a connection making s
    • I am fine with no one mentioning Bob-ette again.  It's frustrating not ever knowing what was up with him truly or why we wasted so much time on that to never get a conclusion.  I am willing to forget it though. Abe being on the board makes more sense to me because of Lexie and Theo.  I think there was a wing dedicated to Autism research or treatment years ago possibly named after Theo and Lexie was the chief of staff at some points and worked there for years.  I could see Abe having interest in the hospital still.
    • TR eventually came to be a nickname for Theresa Regina, the name her kidnappers gave her. Estelle never referred to her as Rebecca, though, always Theresa. I guess that was what TR wanted.    TR went to Switzerland. Jane returned for the last week.  After Ryder died, TR never had a love interest. I assume they gave up. I wouldn’t have dropped John Loprieno as Danny but he got squeezed out by Quinn, really. A TR/Evie/Jerry triangle might’ve worked.    David Forsyth and Jackie Schultz had good chemistry. I liked Luann though. I think Sharon Gabet would’ve been a more interesting recast, and she might’ve kept Joe Lambie on as Lloyd.    But Suzi and Wendy were gone, and Liza was talking about leaving town to join Gary in Africa, so before the cancellation, I do believe Liza was getting phased out.  Sunny and Patti and Evie were set up as heroines, and it was a small show. 
    • Andre/Ashley are a mismatch and not in a cute opposites attract sort of way. He is a very stylish photographer, independently wealthy, wordly  and she is a simple, struggling nurse with limited experiences. He has been having a covert sexual relationship with an older divorced woman and she is involved with a meat and potatoes blue collar  dude. Just  don't see what the attraction would be on either side.
    • I read that somewhere too - maybe it was mentioned in that book? I hope it's true.
    • I took a break from Edge of Night to finally start watching this. I watched the first week's worth of episodes. I started off chronologically even though they released the show originally with the Barnabas era first (don't know when he comes in). I had those discs in the complete coffin collection. I'm watching the complete series on Amazon so I hope Amazon doesn't pull a Knots Landing and yank the series before I finish as I don't have all of the beginning episodes. Thoughts: I appreciate the creepy black and white vibe and how everything is so mysterious even when it's just people walking into rooms. I also like seeing actors I know (Louis Edmonds, Joan Bennett, Mitchell Ryan, Conrad Bain (although he might be a cameo), etc.). It was nice to finally see Joel Crothers as I have yet to see him on Edge of Night. Crothers is quite looking so I wish he'd show up on EON. Mitchell Ryan is also attractive. I like how they set up Devlin's animosity towards the Collins family during this week.  We're left to wonder why Roger is so upset. Why is Devlin angry? What happened to Roger's wife? Who wrote to Victoria? Not much has really happened but I'm intrigued. The dialogue is certainly not on the level of EON. It amuses me they leave bloopers in. Bennett in particular struggles with doors. Was this filmed live?
